welcome to a findeverything.net on how to
set up a wordpress.com account to get started open your favorite web browser and enter wordpress com into the URL box at the top of the screen once there click the get started button to begin registering for an account clicking on this box will take you to this page will cut it in half and try to make it a little easier to follow that's better the first thing wordpress com wants to know is your email address don't worry this is only to activate your account and to ensure that you're a human and not a computer you won't receive too many emails after activation so I would recommend using your primary personal or professional email address depending on what your blog will be about upon entering your email address you'll notice that wordpress com automatically enters your email username dropping the email addresses domain as the wordpress com user name in my case I may use digital Charlotte 16 as WordPress doesn't have a user yet with that name you may find that it suggests a username that is unavailable or you may want to use a totally different username in either of those instances you will need to choose another username from those available once you have selected an available available username you'll need to create a password to insure your online safety avoid simple and easy to guess passwords like your name one 2 120 or WordPress one two three four five and make sure your password does not include a personal information like your birthday driver's license or social security number your password should be more complex each contain at least eight letters numbers and special characters like question marks parentheses or the dollar sign the greater the variety of characters in your password the better also WordPress demands that password must be at least 6 characters long and not one that is commonly used a good example of this would be this after entering it in WordPress you may hide your password clicking the button to the right that says hide if you'd like to turn your password into non-descriptive characters the last option on this page is to choose the blog address this is what people can type in their URL box to find your blog without having to use a search engine just as last time if your suggested username is not taken WordPress will automatically enter it in as the first part of the URL the second half or the domain has a few options as you can see from clicking on the arrow the other options cost money so we'll be focusing on the free option your title wordpress com to finalize this decision you simply need to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the box that says create blog upon clicking create blog this screen will appear it wants you to access the email address highlighted in yellow don't worry you don't need to keep this last page open as the email will redirect you back to wordpress com once you have accessed your email account you'll find your email in your inbox from WordPress that looks something like this if you don't receive this email within 30 minutes of clicking the create blog button click the didn't get your email yet button once you've received your email click the activate blog button clicking the activate blog button takes you back to wordpress com where you'll have a few options pertaining to your blog but first is the title this can be anything you want it to be but I would recommend it pertain to what you're going to focus on for example if you're a football fan living in charlotte maybe you'll want to name your blog cardiac cat corner or something to that effect next up is the tagline although optional it is a good idea to use this page to better define what your blog is going to discuss to go with our title maybe we'll insert discussing major happenings of the Carolina Panthers lastly we'll need to determine what language the blog will be in I'll keep mine in English which you're free to change yours as you wish as wordpress com offers a wide variety of languages also remember that you may change these options at any time should you so choose once you've decided which eng language you'll use click next step the next step is to choose a theme there's a great many of themes to choose from and if you don't like any that are currently offered you have the option of clicking show more themes to see more as you can see many dreams are free but some do come at a price if you are a purchasing a theme be cognizant of your decisionregarding not only aesthetics but also functionality and customer support provided by the designer all of this information can be found by simply searching the title of the theme designer name and other modifiers on the internet search engine clicking the theme of your choice will take you to the theme customization page we will have the options to fine-tune the theme we're going to skip this step in this video which you are more than welcome to configure your blog to your demands by clicking customize it otherwise click next step to continue on clicking the next step button takes you the page allows you to share your blog with your followers on Twitter or friends on Facebook soju so should you so choose we'll also be skipping this step which you'd like to share your blog feel free to click either of your choosing just skip this step with me click the next step button again finally you're done and have the option to post your first blog post the five buttons across the page will allow you to post either texts photos videos quotes or links to your blog depending on what you'd like to share if you'd like to wait on posting your first blog simply press the finish button to be taken to your dashboard thanks for watching and happy blogging
